Orioles C Adley Rutschman on IL for first time in career
June 21 - Baltimore catcher Adley Rutschman was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain, the Orioles announced Saturday.
Rutschman, who had never been on the IL in his career, was held out of the starting lineup on Saturday for the second straight game against the host New York Yankees.
The 27-year-old Rutschman tweaked his left side in batting practice and had been nursing what was described as left abdominal tightness.
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino told reporters that Rutschman underwent an MRI on Saturday morning.
Gary Sanchez started behind the plate and Jordan Westburg served as the designated hitter on Saturday for the Orioles.
In a corresponding move, Maverick Handley was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Handley, 27, went just 3-for-40 (.075) in 15 MLB appearances this season, his first in the majors.
Rutschman, 27, is hitting .227 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 68 games this season.
A two-time All-Star, Rutschman is batting .257 with 60 homers and 221 RBIs in 483 career games since Baltimore selected him with the top overall pick of the 2019 MLB Draft.

WNBA rookie Paige Bueckers' romance with UConn star Azzi Fudd seemingly confirmed
UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd has appeared to confirm her relationship with ex-teammate Paige Bueckers in a new social media post. Fans have long speculated that the close friends - who spent four seasons playing together for the Huskies - were romantically involved, as Fudd accompanied Bueckers to the WNBA Draft this spring. And Fudd has given the strongest indication yet that the basketball players are indeed an item, as she showed off an extremely telling phone case. Fudd posted a mirror selfie of her getting her hair styled, and fans realized that her phone case read: 'paige bueckers' girlfriend.' Fudd is smiling wide in the Instagram story, though no other explicit mention to Bueckers is made in the post. The pair previously 'hard launched' their relationship in the eyes of some fans after Fudd posted a TikTok of her getting the 'princess treatment' with Bueckers in May. In the short clip, Fudd can be seen mouthing the words, 'How much was it?' after being treated to a $200 meal. Bueckers jokingly crossed her arms in dismay when Fudd said 'that's not bad', after learning the price of the meal. And Fudd captioned the clip: 'Princess treatment every time I'm with her #spoiled.' Fans went wild on social media in response to Fudd's most recent post featuring her Bueckers-themed phone case. 'GOOD F******G MORNING TO ME,' one wrote on X. 'she got tired of being called best friend,' another said. 'and she made sure that IT SHOWS,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.' The incoming fifth-year senior made the trip to New York for Bueckers WNBA Draft Day in May, as she was selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Wings. And the pair shared an emotional hug after Bueckers heard her name called at The Shed on April 15. Just nine days before, the pair helped lead UConn to an emphatic national championship win over South Carolina, defeating their opponents 82-59. Fudd was extremely impressive in the win, scoring 24 points and hauling in five rebounds, while Bueckers added 17 points and six boards in the win. The 23-year-old is thriving in her debut season in the WNBA as she's averaged 18 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 10 games thus far. Her Wings will face the Washington Mystics on Sunday.

USA forward Haji Wright out for rest of Gold Cup with achilles injury
US forward Haji Wright will miss the rest of the Concacaf Gold Cup because of an injured left achilles. A 27-year-old from Los Angeles, Wright scored in the 84th minute of last weekend's opening 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago, 11 minutes after entering. He did not play in Thursday's 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia and the US Soccer Federation said Saturday he will return to Coventry City for evaluation and treatment. US coach Mauricio Pochettino said Wright arrived from the League Championship season with the achilles problem. Wright cannot be replaced on the tournament roster. The US, who already have clinched a quarter-finals berth, play Haiti on Sunday in the Americans' group stage finale. 'The problem increased the pain,' Pochettino said. It's unclear whether midfielders Tyler Adams and Johnny Cardoso will he healthy enough to start Sunday. Adams (turf toe) and entered in 62nd minute against Saudi Arabia and Cardoso (illness) entered in the 89th. Three days after Juventus players, including Americans Tim Weah and Weston McKennie, stood behind US president Donald Trump during an Oval Office media briefing, Pochettino said he hopes the national team gets a White House invite. 'Very jealous because we didn't receive an invitation,' Pochettino said. 'Maybe we will have the luck and they will invite, one day for sure.' Juventus players stood behind Trump during a 16-minute briefing. 'It was all a surprise to me, honestly – they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go,' Weah was quoted as saying after a 5-0 victory over Al-Ain that night in the Club World Cup. 'I was caught by surprise, honestly. It was a bit weird. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it's kind of like, I just want to play football, man.' Seated aside Pochettino, American defender Chris Richards was asked what he felt like having to answer questions about international events. 'I think what makes America beautiful is we can all have different opinions, but kind of strive for the same thing, which is freedom in the prosperity,' Richards said. 'In this tough political time, there's a lot of stuff going on in the Middle East and things like that, but I think one thing that we can do is kind of give hope to people. That's all we can do at this point, and we're not politicians for a reason.'
